Jaffa and her lump of pus

We had this beautiful young grey mare surrendered with a horrible big lump which looking like a grey horse melanoma but was actually just a pus filled pocket of infection. So we drained in which entailed cutting a drain hole and every day sticking my finger into the hole to keep it open and to drain the pus. She was such a good girl (the sedation helped) and its now healing well. Once we have it all healed Jaffa will have her teeth done and she will be put under saddle and rehomed. I'm hoping she is a lovely quite horse but she sure is beautiful and a real little princess as well.
